Psychiatry is a branch of medicine dealing
with the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment,
and rehabilitation of the mind and mental illness. Its primary goal is
the relief of mental suffering associated with symptoms of disorder and
improvement of mental well-being. This may be based in hospitals or in the
community and patients may be voluntary or involuntary. Psychiatry adopts
a medical approach but may take into account psychological and
social/cultural perspectives. Treatment by medication alone or in
conjunction with various forms of psychotherapy may be undertaken and has
proved most efficacious.
Most psychiatric illnesses cannot currently be cured, although recovery
may occur. While some have short time courses and only minor symptoms,
many are chronic conditions which can have a significant impact on a
patients' quality of life and even life expectancy, and as such may be
thought to require long-term or life-long treatment. Effectiveness of
treatment for any given condition is also variable from individual to
individual.
